Topics:Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United F.C., FIFA World Player of the YearPages: 2 (419 words)Published: April 2, 2013

Childhood:Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on February 5, 1985, in Madeira, Portugal to Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro and José Diniz Aveiro. Cristiano has an elder brother, Hugo and two elder sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia. His name was inspired by the former US-president, Ronald Reagan, whom his father was influenced by.

Early life:Ronaldo was born in Santo António, a neighbourhood of Funchal, Madeira, the youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener. His second given name "Ronaldo" was chosen after then-U.S. president Ronald Reagan, who was his father's favourite actor. He has one older brother, Hugo, and two older sisters, Elma and Liliana Cátia. His great-grandmother Isabel da Piedade was from Cape Verde.

How he become famous:It was through his dad's work as an equipment manager at a boy's club that Ronaldo was first introduced to the game of soccer. By the time he was 10 years old, he was already recognized as a phenomenon—a kid who ate, slept and drank the game. "All he wanted to do as a boy was play football," his godfather, Fernao Sousa, recalled for British reporters, adding, "He loved the game so much he'd miss meals or escape out of his bedroom window with a ball when he was supposed to be doing his homework."

Sports career:In 2001 he signed with Sporting Portugal. At the same year, when he was at the tender age of 16, Ronaldo turned heads with a mesmerizing performance against Manchester United, wowing even his opponents with his footwork and deft skill. The club paid Ronaldo's team more than £12 million for his services - a record fee for a player of his age. In 2009, when Spanish soccer club Real Madrid agreed to pay United a record $131 million for the chance to sign him, nobody was all that surprised to see Ronaldo leave United.

Achievements:In 2008 Ronaldo again justified the high tab when he put together one of the club's finest seasons in...

...﻿SEQUENTIAL SEARCH
In computer science, linear search or sequential search is a method for finding a particular value in a list, that consists of checking every one of its elements, one at a time and in sequence, until the desired one is found.
Sequential search provides an excellent illustration of the brute-force approach, with its characteristic strength (simplicity) and weakness (inferior efficiency).
To repeat, the algorithm simply compares successive elements of a given list with a given search key until either a match is encountered (successful search) or the list is exhausted without finding a match (unsuccessful search).
A simple extra trick is often employed in implementing sequential search: if we append the search key to the end of the list, the search for the key will have to be successful, and therefore we can eliminate the end of list check altogether.
It is important to remember that the:
- maximum number of searches required is: n+1
- average number of searches required is: (n+1)/2
(n = the number of elements on the list)

Term Paper-Search Warrants
Search warrants are a major part of most investigations that take place everywhere in our country. What is a search warrant? It is basically a court order that is issued by a judge or any other type of Supreme Court official that authorizes law enforcement personnel, in most cases police officers, to conduct a search of a person, house, vehicle, or any other type of location. Evidence of a crime is what is mostly being searched for. Authorities will most often confiscate the evidence or objects of the crime.
A search warrant must always be based on probable cause. We can define probable cause by facts or circumstances that would lead a person to believe that the place needs to be searched for important pieces of evidence to be found (Swanson 35). The probable cause is established by what is called a written affidavit prepared by the law enforcement officer or investigator. In the affidavit, the officer states all known facts and circumstances involving the suspects and items that are expected to be found. An affidavit contains 3 main parts that need to be described: the person, the property, and the facts. The search warrant must always describe in particular the place that is being searched. The description must be detailed enough to where the place being searched can...

CJA 364 Criminal Procedure
Search and Seizure
The Fourth Amendment was set in place to protect society from unlawful police work. When it comes to apprehending criminals and ensuring their conviction, evidence needs to be gathered before hand. To do so, there is a lengthy process to be followed; the search and seizure method, the arrest, reasonableness, and right of privacy methods. However, there are laws that can protect officers in the line of duty or make accommodations to police work while in the line of duty. One law that helps protect police officers during the line of duty is the “stop and frisk.” However, for an arrest to take place there must be probable cause in that it must be more than likely than not that a violation of the law has been committed and the individual arrested committed the violation (Emanuel, 2009).
Reasonableness to Privacy and Search and Seizure
Although the Bill of Rights explains, and defines an abundance of legal rights an American citizen is entitled to, it lacks a definition of the right to privacy. Essentially, our right to privacy is a judicially created right just like the exclusionary rule. That means that this right can be altered when needed, basically at any time. The fourth amendment stands to protect our rights in one aspect, it states, “"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against...

...Abstract
The understanding of the Fourth Amendment in the U.S. Constitution and its relevance for searches and seizures is critical for any investigator, and it strikes a balance between individual liberties and the rights of society. Most importantly, the limitation on any search is that the scope must be narrow, if a search is not conducted legally, the evidence obtained is worthless. As a matter of fact, the exclusionary rule established that courts may not accept evidence obtained by unreasonable search and seizure, regardless of its relevance to a case.
The Fourth Amendment Violation
(Should the legal requirements for obtaining a search warrant be changed?)
You are probably quite familiar with the phrase “a man's home is his castle.” This quote is actually a proverb, "an Englishman's home is his castle" which became very popular after the Attorney General for England during the early 1600s, Sir Edward Coke said: "Everyone is to him as his castle and fortress, as well for his defense against injury and violence as for his repose". Coke spoke those words following what is known as the Semayne's case, which essentially acknowledged — all the way back in 1604 — that the king did not have unbridled authority to intrude on his subjects' dwellings unless the purpose was lawful and a warrant had been obtained. It is the Semayne's case that actually laid the groundwork for the Fourth Amendment of the U.S....

...protects our citizens and visitors from an array of items. A few in particular would be; right to privacy, search, and seizure. The Fourth Amendment also sets the tone for how arrests are affected and how reasonableness is weighed on heavily.
The Fourth Amendment grants American citizens protection from illegal searches and seizures. The Fourth Amendment is designed to protect the right to privacy and freedom from arbitrary invasions. In order to seek restitution for a violation of the Fourth Amendment, the plaintiff must have standing. Standing requires that the plaintiff had an expectation of privacy at the searched location. Standing requires that both the subjective and the objective tests are met. The subjective test requires that the plaintiff actually expected privacy while the objective test checks whether the plaintiff would have expected privacy (Fourth Amendment).
The Fourth Amendment protects against unlawful searches and seizures, but what exactly are a search and a seizure? As per the Legal Dictionary search and seizure is an “examination of a person's premises (residence, business or vehicle) by law enforcement officers looking for evidence of the commission of a crime, and the taking (seizure and removal) of articles of evidence (such as controlled narcotics, a pistol, counterfeit bills, and a blood-soaked blanket). The basic question is whether the search and seizure were "unreasonable" under the...

...of consensual encounters vs. detentions concerning search and seizure, we will also discus important cases that shape the fundamentals procedures of search and seizure.
According to Rutledge (2010) p.109, reasonableness may have up four factors to consider: Justification, scope, place, and manner of execution. He also makes a valid point to state that even if an officer were to have the first three factors, justification, scope, and place the fourth is the most important because it could invalidate the search and seizure if its not done properly. A justifiable search could have many factors that would allow an officer to conduct a proper search or make a lawful detention and stops. One of them is a search warrant, which carries a limited authority to detain persons present and also search the property detailed on the warrant. Another is a criminal profile; an example would be of a drug dealer that would fit the physical description given to the officer. Anonymous tip, multiple informant’s, an example is like two or more persons able to identify someone that has committed a crime, and of course police observation. However if the officer sees something suspicious he/she has to articulate why such person has broken the law and given him/her probable cause to do a warrantless search or detention on such said person. Scope falls in the actual process of the...

... This is the amendment that covers the area of search and seizure as well as privacy. The fourth amendment states, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." With this being written many people have had to interpret this on different levels since it was first written, especially police officers. In its most basic explanation the forth amendment limits the power of the police to make arrests, search people and their property, and seize objects and contraband.
The fourth amendment's intended duty is to protect against unreasonable searches and seizures. This amendment demands that searches made by the government be reasonable. It also states that warrants must be supported by probable cause and specifically state who is being arrested or exactly what is being searched for and eventually seized. Yet this does not mean that a search can not be performed without a warrant. If a police officer believes a crime has been or is being committed with probable cause a warrantless search may be conducted. Another important part to the fourth amendment is the exclusionary rule. This rule makes it clear that any evidence seized during an...

: PR(A)= 1 - d + d \left( \frac{PR(B)}{L(B)}+ \frac{PR(C)}{L(C)}+ \frac{PR(D)}{L(D)}+\,\cdots \right).
The difference between them is that the PageRank values in the first formula sum to one, while in the second formula each PageRank is multiplied by ''N'' and the sum becomes ''N''. A statement in Page and Brin's paper that "the sum of all PageRanks is one" and claims by other Google employees[[Matt Cutts]]'s blog: [http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-for-bloggers/ Straight from Google: What You Need to Know], see page 15 of his slides. support the first variant of the formula above.
Page and Brin confused the two formulas in their most popular paper "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine", where they mistakenly claimed that the latter formula formed a probability distribution over web pages.
Google recalculates PageRank scores each time it crawls the Web and rebuilds its index. As Google increases the number of documents in its collection, the initial approximation of PageRank decreases for all documents.
The formula uses a model of a ''random surfer'' who gets bored after several clicks and switches to a random page. The PageRank value of a page reflects the chance that the random surfer will land on that page by clicking on a link. It can be understood as a [[Markov chain]] in which the states are pages, and the transitions, which are all equally probable, are the links between pages....
